There, fixed that for you

(eventually, I hope to make this a regular series)

I was reminded of this by Bun. She has a button that reads "Sorry I missed church. I was too busy practicing witchcraft and becoming a lesbian." I had to explain the origin of the quote to her.

So,
Dear Pat Robertson:

Feminism is a socialist economically balanced, anti-rigidly defined-family, political movement that encourages women to leave their husbands abusive situations, kill their children enjoy reproductive freedom, practice witchcraft Earth Centered religion, destroy capitalism make sure everyone has a piece of the pie--including those not yet able to work, or past working--and become lesbians enjoy female-centered sexuality, should that be their orientation.

There. Fixed that for you.

Oh, well said!

And a very nice history lesson, as well.

(That's Lord Peter Wimsey in my icon, by the way. Dorothy L. Sayers was an odd duck, but she wrote Wimsey as quite supportive of women. He gets women out of abusive situations in several of the short stories, founds an "employment bureau"/detective agency specifically to make use of the untapped talents of middle-aged women, and is very proud of his working wife. One of her novels even portrays a lesbian couple sympathetically, as contrasted to another, unsympathetic one. They're unsympathetic not because they're lesbians, but because one of them is leeching off the other and doesn't love her. Sayers was capable of writing bits like that, and then writing totally regressive stuff later. Sigh. I still love Wimsey, though, and think of him as a sort of quasi-feminist.)
